Évora is one of the most popular places to visit in Alentejo region, known for its beautiful whitewashed houses. It is the historic capital of the Alentejo.
Mother Ivey’s Bay takes its name from the legend of Mother Ivy who was a local white witch who cursed a local family. It lies just around the coast from Harlyn Bay. Cushioned from the wind by the Merope Rocks.
Mother Ivey was a white witch and vocal member of the community, She used her charms and spells to fight harm and wrongs. She was very seldom angry, but one man who lived in Harlyn tried Mother Ivey’s patience to its limit.
In those days wealth came in the form of pilchards. They were caught and salted and sent to Italy for Catholics to eat on fish Fridays and in Lent. While the fish merchant grew rich, the Cornish fishermen’s families went hungry.
One week, a ship carrying a large cargo of pilchards was returned from Italy unsold. Every villager came to see the ship in, hoping that their bellies would soon be filled. The Fish Merchant took the fish off the ship and up the hill to his farm. Mother Ivey pleaded with him to allow the villagers to eat the fish as it was still good enough to eat even though it could not be sold.
Instead, the fish were ploughed into a field as fertilizer. Mother Ivey was very angry, The people she spent her years helping were in desperate need of the food that had just been denied them. She went to the Fish Cellars and cursed the merchant's field:
"Break the soil, Death will follow,”
And it did. The next year, the merchant ploughed the field and planted corn. A few weeks later his eldest son was out riding his horse, when he fell off and was killed. No one has taken a spade or a plough to the field since, for fear of what may happen. The field lays fallow to this day.

Paternoster is known for its seafood, especially its lobster, and its white-washed fishermen’s cottages. Located on the West Coast, 15 km north-west of Vredenburg and 145 km north of Cape Town, at Cape Columbine the village has a population of around 1,900.
One of the oldest fishing villages in South Africa, it a stronghold of Cape Coloured culture, and especially Coloured cuisine, and is increasingly marketed as such by South African tourism authorities. At under two hours’ drive from central Cape Town, this once impoverished community is now being gentrified by weekenders and retirees, with upmarket new restaurants opening, and becoming rather ‘larnie’, as South Africans put it.
The origin of the name remains unknown. Many people believe that the name, which means ‘Our Father’ in Latin, refers to prayers said by Catholic Portuguese seamen when they became shipwrecked. It appears as St. Martins Paternoster on an old map of Pieter Mortier so the name may be derived from Paternoster Row in the City of London which is adjacent to St. Martins Court. Other people believe it refers to the beads that the Khoi tribe wore that were called Paternosters.
The climate is mostly known for its infrequent rainfall, dry countryside and high offshore winds. The area receives most of its rainfall during winter and has a Mediterranean climate. This photo was taken on a baking-hot late Summer January day when the mercury reached 37C!

An old mill wheel resting above the Aegean Sea, silent yet full of stories carried by the wind. Between whitewashed stones and the endless horizon, it stands as a symbol of tradition, resilience, and the quiet poetry of island life.
St.Perer`s Church in Malmö Sweden
The interior of the Church remains mainly in accordance with its orginal plan,including elegantly shaped pillars and arches.The rich frescoes that covered the vault during the middle ages were hidden from the eye in the year 1555 when the entire edifice was whitewashed.During a restoration carried out in the 1850,all traces of the former frescoes were scraped away.
sometimes the music felt muffled, forced its way out
sometimes it sang woods with a full sun, dark
and full of struggle
the musician played and played through the centuries of his
doubt, holding him through the white strings passing through
on the way somewhere
the unkown of it being what he wanted

The Palacio Nacional in Sintra is the best-preserved medieval royal palace in Portugal and was a favorite with the Portuguese nobility who favored the cooler hilltop temperatures away from Lisbon. The minimalistic, whitewashed gothic exterior hides a wonder of decorative state rooms. Its long history has been intertwined with the fortunes of Portugal’s ruling nobility, who resided here from the early 15th through to the late 19th century making it Portugal’s most lived in royal palace.
Situated right in the heart of Sintra, the palace has become commonly referred to as the Palacio da Vila, the Town Palace. The most visually striking exterior features are the two enormous chimneys built to vent the large kitchens fires and ovens away from the main palace chambers, becoming the icons of the hilly Sintra landscape.
I loved this old building in Knutsford. Set on a cobbled street with its whitewash and corbie stepped gable end, all set against a blue sky. Perfect for a monochrome treatment.
